Bm A Em
Josephine paces her room
Bm A Em F#m
Josephine wishes the stars would appear
A C#m Em
Breathless she'll run to her tryst
G#m G
On the brow of the hill
E
If God will
Bm A Em
Josephine looks for a rose
Bm A Em F#m
To perfume the tight angry curls of her hair
A C#m Em
He'll come this once, and maybe
G#m G
Again, but where
E
Or when
F D
And the leaves blow in
F D F#m
And the leaves blow into the hall
Bm A Em
Josephine dresses her wound
Bm A Em F#m
One scent of blood and he might disappear
A C#m Em
Or maybe he'll want to devour her
G#m G
Whole and complete
E
In a heart beat
Bm A Em
Josephine talks in her sleep
Bm A Em F#m
More friends around her asleep than awake
A C#m Em
Cries desolation to phantoms
G#m G
But nobody hears
E
A dream's tears
F D
And the leaves blow in
F D F#m
And the leaves blow into the hall
Bm A Em
Josephine writes on the wall
Bm A Em F#m
Writes all the thoughts that escape from her head
A C#m Em
Hundreds and thousands of words
G#m G
Written small on a wall
E
That's all
